      Verdict

      All of these have something to prove in pattern company but PIN UP won a decent handicap over today's trip at Haydock last time. Richard Fahey's filly has not finished improving yet on that evidence and is taken to confirm running with the front-runner Secateur. The latter should do better if it remains good going and is preferred to stablemate Mill Springs, who was well beaten in the Park Hill at Doncaster last time. Sagaciously is not without ability but not the most reliable and the lightly-raced Le Rock has plenty to find on these terms.
